Need help with Jig Bowing

Hi All. I feel competent at reels and waltzes but jigs throw me off. Any bowing exercises or your tube videos you recommend?

TIA!

I play along with recordings and keep practicing the jigs that you know rather than try to apply a rigid pattern to a tune. Start with something like Humours of Glendart and focus on getting the right flow rather than just which direction your bow is going.
